Scouts back in the Great War were always used to ending up returning with something. Usually, it was a chunk of information, useless or useful, artifacts that held powerful abilities, or maybe a threat from the enemy.

But, rarely, they were seen bringing in the unexpected, which revealed more then the scout knew him/herself.

"Are we there yet?" moaned a black and green mech in dissatisfaction as he scouted along with a smaller yellow and black mech.

"Grimlock, you asked that a minute ago," replied the smaller mech.

"But I'm wondering if are there yet," protested Grimlock as he looked around, uninterested in what he saw.

Suddenly, a snap was heard from the adjacent side of the yellow and black bot. Both mechs turned around to the source, weapons and fists raised up. At once, a figure hid behind a tree at the instant.

"Alright, who are you, and what are you doing here?" demanded the smaller scout, following the usual protocol.

Grimlock, excited for some action after half an hour of scouting, charged over at the figure. A yelp was heard as Grimlock skidded to a stop and gazed at the figure.

The figure was a silver sparkling with electric blue optics and a clear visor. The figure seemed femme, thought it wasn't unclear. Just like how the larger Dinobot silently wondered why the small sparkling reminded him of his carrier, Igneous.

The sparkling, however, was not scared from the large Dinobot, but was scared from the mech behind him.

"Uh, Bee, I think you should out away the weapon..." stated Grimlock as he knelt down to the sparkling's level.

For an odd reason, the silver sparkling was more confused then scared from him. "Hey, don't worry... I'm not here ta hurt yea... What's your name?" he asked calmly and comfortingly, with no intent on scaring away the sparkling.

The sparkling went farther back in fear. The green mech frowned as he held out a servo. "C'mon... I did promise I won't hurt yea, didn't I?" he stated calmly and quietly as his optics softened. The sparkling quietly approached him.

All the meanwhile, Bee stood their shocked. He knew that Grimlock had a good spark, but he never thought he would see him being GENTLE.

'Something between those two...' he concluded to himself.

"Ivy," stated the small sparkling in a soft, femme-ish voice. "IvyFang..."

Grimlock smiled at her and nodded, "My name is Grimlock."

The sparkling's blue optics widened in surprise. "You are? You're Grimlock?" she asked in shock, with hope intertwined within her sentence.

"Yup, I am!"
